Mission Statement

We partner with parents to prepare and develop the whole student in mind, body, and spirit, through academic training interwoven with ministry and worship. [Proverbs 22:6]

School Philosophy

God created the heavens and the earth. [Genesis 1:1]  We, at Bethel Christian School believe the Bible to be the infallible word of God, and teach our students from a Biblical worldview. All truth is God’s truth and all of the disciplines at Bethel Christian School are taught in the light of this truth. Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, is our mentor and model. Christ was sinless in nature, and was the demonstration of all God intended for man to be. His life is our guide to life in abundance.  [John 10:10]

The scripture says that Jesus grew in Wisdom (intellectually), Stature (physically), and in favor with God (spiritually) and Man (socially). [Luke 2:52]  Therefore, our educational goals encompass the spiritual, social, intellectual and physical areas of our students’ lives. These areas are inseparable, and through them all run the insistent thread of the spiritual. It is our aim to avoid the tendency to teach the Bible compartmentally or on the intellectual level alone.

Scripture clearly commands parents to be responsible for the education of their children. Bethel Church maintains a Christian school to assist Christian parents in the exercise of their biblical duty. [Deuteronomy 6: 4-9, Proverbs 22:6]

Educational Philosophy

Our purpose at Bethel Christian School is to partner with parents to prepare and develop the whole student; mind, body and spirit through academic training that is interwoven with Biblical teaching, ministry and worship. We believe that the spiritual man is integrated into all aspects of learning and life. In order for students to gain a comprehensive education, all materials must be presented with spiritual and academic truth. Learners must be taught how to use their knowledge and skills for the glory of God. We teach that God wants to edify, comfort, and exhort His children. Through this understanding, students will gain self-confidence enabling them to achieve all that God has purposed for their lives.

Core Values:

Students at Bethel Christian School are…

Commissioned to make disciples:
God reveals Himself in the Bible as Creator and “the way, the truth, and the life”. We honor Him as Lord and King. Therefore, all curriculum and instruction flows from the Biblical world view that in Christ Jesus, God established His kingdom and commissioned His people to make disciples of all nations. We teach our students to preach the Gospel in word and action, knowing that signs and wonders follow those who believe.  [Mark 16:15-18, 2 Corinthians 5:11-20]

Friends with God:
A student’s personal relationship with Christ is the core of all they can learn and accomplish. We teach our students to receive and respond to God’s offer of intimate relationship by loving Him in return with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength through communion with the Holy Spirit.  [Luke 2:52, Mark 12:30, 2 Corinthians 13:14]

Sons and Daughters of God:
Knowing and personally experiencing God’s transforming love, power, and truth is the deepest need and greatest joy of humanity. As our students grow in friendship with the Lord and learn to follow the Holy Spirit, they will perceive themselves as God perceives them and embrace their true identity as a child of the King. As they work FROM God’s acceptance rather than FOR it, holiness and Christ-like character will become more an internal motivation to position them to fulfill God’s call on their life and less a merely external expectation.  [Galatians 4:7, Romans 8:14-17]

Successful Self-Directed Learners and Leaders:
Our purpose is to nurture a love for learning in our students and to help them understand their learning styles and strengths, thereby equipping them with the skills to be successful, self-directed learners. Students with this self-understanding become excellent contributors and leaders in both church and society. They impart what they are to others-all for the glory of God.  [Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 15]

Passionate Worshipers:
Worship is fundamental to our relationship with God. It recognizes His worth and we become like the One whom we worship. We believe the arts find their true home in service to God, so our students learn to express worship through dance, music, choir, drama, painting, and drawing.  [John 4:23]
